Wiltshire Farmhouse by Blank Slate Studio showcases the sensitive modernization of a traditional stone farmhouse in the English countryside. Bari Jerauld and team have preserved the original structure while introducing new oak beams, open joists and character-grade oak floors in soft shale tones. Checkerboard limestone tiles and cobbled utility spaces enhance the rustic charm, while rich marble bathrooms add elegance. With symmetry, balance and layered textures, the farmhouse embodies timeless design and understated warmth.

Malvern Hill House by Parker Studio (interiors) in collaboration with Potter & Wilson (architecture) is a heritage home in Croydon that unites Victorian charm with a bold contemporary extension. Nestled in a leafy conservation area, it was carefully restored and expanded to meet the needs of a modern family. The steel-glazed rear addition contrasts with warm interiors, where layered textures, subtle colours, and mixed materials enrich the space. The result is a refined balance between timeless heritage and modern sophistication.

A Victorian vicarage reimagined

Posted on Thu, 21 Aug 2025 by midcenturyjo

Wandsworth Vicarage is a Victorian rectory in South West London, reimagined by Tamsin Saunders of Home & Found with sensitivity and character. Once tired and neutrally decorated, the house has been transformed into a warm, vibrant home that feels as though it evolved over decades rather than through a single renovation. By introducing colour, pattern and texture, and carefully layering antiques, vintage lighting and bespoke pieces, Tamsin created interiors that reflect the clients’ personalities while honouring the building’s history. Spaces open to the garden and connect through thoughtful views, giving each room purpose and flow. From a softened conservatory to richly detailed living areas and tranquil bedrooms, the house now balances heritage with comfort, intimacy with grandeur and artistry with everyday life.

A bright, coastal cottage in Devon

Posted on Tue, 12 Aug 2025 by KiM

When you have views of the gorgeous coast of Salcombe, Devon it seems logical to go with a seaside vibe in this Victorian family cottage. Lots of white, blue, red and yellow and some really fun stripes, which I am always a fan of, makes this home really inviting and playful and brings the outdoors in. Designer Sarah Southwell really hit the nail on the head here. Photos: Jonathan Bond.

Clapham townhouse for a young family

Posted on Thu, 7 Aug 2025 by midcenturyjo

This handsome London townhouse has been fully redesigned by Emma Ainscough to create a layered, characterful home tailored to the needs of a young family. Original architectural details were carefully restored, including period joinery and decorative features in the entrance hall. A refined yet playful palette runs throughout, with bold colour accents, antique lighting and textured finishes adding softness and personality. The children’s spaces are whimsical and adaptable, while the primary suite offers calm and balance. Across all floors, thoughtful layouts, clever storage and bespoke furnishings bring together comfort, practicality and a sense of quiet charm.
